MeDirect Bank customers can now connect their debit card to their Google Wallet, giving them the opportunity to start using Google Pay to make online and contactless in-store purchases through their smartphone or smartwatch. This development is a first step in making digital wallets available to all MeDirect customers as access to other digital wallets will also be enabled in the coming weeks.
MeDirect first launched its card services just over a year ago, offering a free Mastercard debit card. Customers benefit from features such as instant transaction viewing and management via the bank’s mobile app or online banking platform.
Additionally, MeDirect’s debit card service also includes multicurrency accounts where customers can use accounts in different currencies without incurring additional foreign exchange fees and an advanced anti-fraud detection system, ensuring both convenience and security.
Pawel Malukiewicz, Group Head – Channels and Customer Experience and Chief Product Officer at MeDirect, said, “Digital Wallets are convenient and safe, allowing you to shop online and in-store without needing to worry about having your physical card with you. As customers become more accustomed to using digital wallets, it was important for MeDirect to make this functionality available as quickly as possible. Going forward, we will continue to develop our card services to ensure we continue to build our position as the preferred bank for customers in Malta.”
